XONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELTE O'CLOCK. The Bank of England directors, at their weekly 3ourt, to-day, have not made any further alteration in their discount quotation, and this fact, together With the small demand now experienced for accom modation has engendered an easier feeling in monetary circles. The general rate has been owered to 81 per ceat. for bankers' acceptances of that date, and 81 per cent. is the average for longer Sated securities. At an extraordinary general meeting to-day of ihareholders of the London Joint Stock Bank, the resolutions previously passed, increasing the capital to £4,000,000 by the creation of 20,000 new shares )f £3O each, were confirmed. About £1,500 in gold was taken into the Bank yesterday.

Two o'CLocx. At the Paris Bourse this day, according to Eteuter , s telegram, the 3 per Cent. Reines were Quoted 66f. 70c. The market for English Stocks to-day has been favourably influenced by the corrected accounts respecting the Indian Exchanges. Yesterday afternoon prices suffered rather considerably through different telegrams giving different quota tions, and there was great fear that larger quan tities of silver would have been shipped, The public mind, however, has since been calmed by the knowledge that the exchanges are not so high as was at first stated, and a general recovery in prices has ensued.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE,—This day. BOW-STREET. ASSAULTING THE POLICE.—James Connor, a coster monger, was placed at the bar before Mr Vaughan, charged with assaulting the police. Police-constable 55 E, said he was on duty yesterday in Holborn, when a gentleman informed him that a man in a state of intoxication was annoying :several persons ; he proceeded to the spot, and told the prisoner that if he did not walk on quietly he should take him into custody. He then crossed over tha road and entered a publichouse ; in a short time, however, ho left and re crossed the road and commenced a disturbance. He (wit ness) then finding remonstrance in vain, attempted to take him into custody, when a violent struggle ensued. The prisoner being the stronger man of the two overpowered the constable to some extent, and ultimately he seized hold of his truncheon case (a portion of the new uniform) hanging by his side, and after swingiag him backwards and forwards by it, he gave A sudden j.ok, and getting the case over his shoulder car ried the constable for some distance hanging at his (pri soner's) back. lie then th cw witness down, kicked him, and was attempting to escape when the constable got upon his feet and again seized hold of him. Another struggle ensued, and eventually it took the wilted exertions of five constables to convey him to the station.house. Mr Vaughan asked the prisoner what he bad to say in answer to the charge. Prisoner said he was so drunk that he did not know what he was about. The magistrate fined him 408 for the assault, or to be committed to prison in default of payment. WESTMINSTER. PARENTAL AFFLIOTIONS.—John Mellish, a boy between 10 and 11 years of age was charged with robbing his master. Mr G. F. Sargeant, newsvendor, Brunswick-row, Brewer's-green, Westminster, said that the prisoner had been in his employment four or five weeks. On the sth of eeptember, he gave him 3s 6d to insert an advertisement in the Daily lelegraph, and 2s 31 to fetoh some evening papers. Instead of inserting the advertisement he decamped with the money, He however purchased the evening papers and delivered them. He had not seen any more of him till last night when he was taken into custody, Mr Selfe—Have you ascertained that the advertisement was never taken. Prosecutor—Certainly. The prisoner admits it himself, and says he spent part of the money. The mother of the boy, a very respectable-looking woman, who was in court, was directed to stand forward. Mr Selfe—Has your boy over done anything of this sort before. The mother (bursting into tears)--Frequently ; and I am sure I don't know what I shall do with him. He took a shilling from a young person a short time ago, and I gave him half-a-crown directly afterwards to go and get some bread, and I never saw him again for some days till he was brought home in the most wretched condition, and I was obliged to take off and destroy everything he possessed. Another time he took is 6d, and was lost for some time. He has been away for a month at a time. Mr Selfe (to prisoner)—Where have you been from the sth? Prisoner—About the Haymarket. Mr Salfe—What have you been doing there? Prisoner—Opening cab doors. Mr Self() (to the mother)—Have you any other children ? The mother—l am a widow left with nine children. This is the youngest but one. I have done the best I can for them all, and am truly sorry it has turned out so bad in this instance. Mr Selfe—How do you get your living? The mother—By charring at gentlemen's houses, and by any other work that I ran get. Mr Selfe—You can do nothing with tho boy ? The mother—Nothing. Mr Selfe—The best thing that I can do for you will be to send him to a reformatory. I shall send him for 3 years to the Industrial School at Fulham. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. UTTERING FICTITIOUS CIIEQUES.—Goorge J. Arthur, described as an auctioneer, charged with obtaining money by means of a fictitious cheque from Mr Amy, barman to Mr Weller, licensed victualler, of Goodge-street, and Mr Nurse, clerk to Mr Richards, auctioneer, of Charlotte-street, Fitz roy-square, was again brought before Mr Knox. The court was crowded by persons who had cashed cheques for the prisoner. The evidence taken on the last occasion being read over, Mr John Watson, of 41, Great Queen street, said on the 224 of June, 1863, he took a cheque (produced) for rent. Mr Knox said as that was the case ho did not think it worth while to trouble Mr Watson to give evidence, but he could attend at the trial. Mr Moore, 118, Mount-street, Grosvenor-square, licensed victualler, said—On the 10th of August, 1861, the prisoner called with a gentleman and asked him to cash a cheque which he left with him, and on the 11th of August the prisoner called again, and he then cashed it. It was presented at the bank and returned "no account," he (Nlr Moore) having paid it into his brewers. The prisoner endorsed the cheque in hie (Ar Moore's) presence. Mr Clow, of the firm of Serle, Low, and Co., said no per sons of the name of Thomas Williams and Co. had an ac count at their bank in Leicester-squire. In answer to Mr Knox, the witness said the prisoner had an account at their bank, but it had been closed—the account was opened in February and closed in June. The signature of George J. Arthur on the cheque, and that of George J, Arthur in their signature book, were in the same hand writing. Mr Knox said ho thought sufficient goods to charge the prisoner with obtaining money from the persons by con spiring with others. Mr Asher Solomon, 35, Golden-square, said, on the Ist of July, 1863, he cashed a cheque for the prisoner, and it was returned to him, some days after he had paid it away, by a gentleman from the London and Westminster Bank dishonoured. In answer to the prisoner, Mr Solomon said he wont to the place, and saw the name of Nelson, Gibbs, and Ce. up, but could not find any of the persons, Mr W. H. Sidey, of Ileworth, said—ln July last he was a clerk in the London and Westminster Bank, and when he presented the cheque at the offices of Nelson, Gibbs, and Co., he found closed doors, as he did on soveral after occa sions. Mr Barned, of 3, Bond-court-house, Walbrook, said in June a person, who said he was Mr Gibbs, came and took two rooms on the second floor, and had subsequently the names of Nelson, Gibbs, Prince, and Co. painted up. They were in possession from June to August, and during that time a person calling himself Prince came to the place. Lis had seen the prisoner at the place a few times. The evidence having been read over the prisoner was committed for trial. TIIAMES. VIOLENT ASSAULT BY A SON ON RIB MOTIIEIt,..-JOhll Casey, a powerful young man, was charged before Mr Page with violently assaulting Mary ITartings, his mother, who carried on a small general business at Wapping. Complainant stated that for the last three months the prisoner and his wife had been lodging with her and wore supported by her. On Monday last ho was very violent and assaulted her, but she did not give him in charge. About 7 o'clock last Right she was in her shop when the prisoner came in and rifased to leave. Upon complainant insisting that he should leave he seizad hold of the scales and struck her on the head with them. Ile also broke a pane of glass, and observed that he wanted to kill the child. Mr Paget—Did he strike you more than once ? Complainant—He tried to do so, but I got out of his way. Ido not want to hurt him. All I want is, for him not to come and annoy me.

Loss OF SHEEP BY GRAZING ON BARLEY STUBBLE.—Last week the flock of ewes belonging to Mr Gent, of Saxon-street, Woodditon, were turned into a field of barley stubble in which they ate too greedily of the scat tered corn, and in the course of a short time were danger ously eff.;cted, As soon as their condition was discovered they were driven into pasture ground, and everything that was deemed necessary was done, but notwithstanding the efforts of many acquainted with the management of flocks, between 60 and 70 fine ewes died. Many more at e seriously blown and still in danger, Lut we hope that Mr Gent's loss will not be increaeed,—Bury and .Yoi tywh RA The Prince and Princess of Wales in Denmark, COPENHAGEN, Saturday Nigh:. Interested as all the better classes here in their own quiet hospitable fashion are that the visit of the Prince and Princess of Wales should be produc tive of pleasure, and that not a word hurtful to their feelings, or those of any Englishman, should as far as possible be spoken, it is evident that the subject uppermost in their thoughts is the final decision upon the Schleswig-Holstein question. Their ears are strained to catch any rumours upon this point; and well they may be, for the result must exercise a direct influence upon their very existence as a nation. So much has been said and written on this disastrous controversy already that an apology for alluding to it farther might be neces sary, were it not that in the din of conflicting argu ments some are audible that well deserve to be weighed by the English people. The Danes say, and with great show of reason, that if a solemn European settlement, guaranteed by the signatures of all the great nations, be only valid for ten yews, at the end of which time, or earlier if they choose, the contract is to be torn in pieces by bayonets, there is no longer any security for the existence of small States. These will become, as Metternich said of Italy, mere " geographical expressions," and a policy of invasion and annexation no longer confined to one great empire, but condoned by the action at least of all the Powers, will trail itself like a great red dragon all over Europe. The Danes have made up their minds that no extremity in which they may be placed will now induce the English to lift a finger in their behalf. With this conviction they fortified Copenhagen as strongly as they could, and the g u ns even now re main in position. Some of th e most en li g htened men go the length of admitti ng t h a t, v i e wed from a purely English point of vie w , E ng l an d, perhaps, has not sufficient interest in the preservation of Danish independence and the integrity of the Denieh monarchy to induce her to take up arms. But, what a prospect, they add, does the action of that country open up for the world at large! With all the other giant States of Europe, conquest, an nexation, and. territorial re arrangements are day dreams which their statesmen are ever striving to fulfil. England was regarded as the unfailing guar dian of public order, by tradition, by sentiment, and by national interest, as the sworn supporter of international good faith, Once she declares that only pecuniary conditions are strong enough to in duce her to fight, and in a diplomatic sense—// n'y a plus des Pyrennees. To the Danes, as well as to many, doubtless, of the Germans , the conduct of Prussia in the late war was a painful surprise. Denmark believed, in common with all the rest of the world, when the contest began, that she would only have to deal with the troops of the German Conrederation. For these she believed herself to be quite a match, and, moreover, she counted on the support of S weden.Between these two Scandinavian kingdoms there is scarcely that amount of cordiality which in many parts of Europe has been supposed to exist. They are ancient enemies and rivals, and it was only in the lifetime of the late King of Den mark that famiNar intercourse between the Sove reigns laid the foundation of an entente cordiale be tween the people. Sweden undoubtedly would have been willing to aid the Danes against the Confede ration; but to wage war against Prussia and Aus tria the hint wa asserted s avery iff and en reasserted undertaking, even w i t h out by Russia, notwithstanding the strongest d en i a l s . different ak to have been given Austria, in the course upon which she enters in the event of any European convulaion, always exhibits much of the fatal facility of the perfect gentleman who is prevented by every courtesy from saying "No." Prussia, on the contrary, dragged along by sheer force of volition its obliging though half. repentant colleague. But in achieving this object Prussia abandoned its traditional policy, which con sisted in holding out to Germany, but to Germany only, the glitter and parade of military power, so at tractive to the minor States whose adhesion it was desirous of securing. To the rest of Europe it was anxious to appear solely in the light of a barrier, whose strength existed, and was reserved for pur poses of defence. Disguise now is no longer pos sible; the spirit of conquest has revealed itself too nakedly, and clear-headed bystanders eee that the real difficulties of Prussia will commence the very moment that peace has been signed. To-day was the first since the arrival in Denmark of the Prince and Princess of Wales that there has been anything like fine weather. The skies, it is true, looked as regards the future decidedly unset tled, but still the sun shone a little, and no rain fell, so that it was possible to get about otherwise than in closed carriages. The royal party had set themselves vigorously within doors to counteract the dispiriting influence of the continual rain. All those expedients which in English country quarters contribute so materially to while away the tedium of an enforced stay in the house, with others having their origin in Denmark itself, were brought into requisition. And probably in future domestic gatherings held at home under similar circumstances the Scandinavian version of " hunt the slipper" — for which a ring is here substituted—will lose none of its popularity, from the fact that it yielded plea sure to a large circle in which their royal high nesses were foremost in enjoyment of the sport. Smile members of the circle at Frendensberg , amon g others Lord Spencer, made short excursions in the vicinity of the Castle, or fished in the Esrom Lake. Between the officers of the Osborne and the Aurora a cricket match took place, in spite of the heavy rain, which resulted in a victory for the Aurora by 17 runs. This afternoon, u t e about differentl o'clock ul e memb e rs e , their ra o f royal t h e royal high nesses T had t he family availed themselves of a favourable change in the weather to drive from Frendensborg Castle as far as Elsinore, having of necessity been able to give but a cursory glance at that point on the day of their arrival. The distance, which takes rather more than a hour to drive, was performed in open carriages, the first a capacious waggon shaped vehicle containing all the members of the Royal families of England and Danmark at present stay. ing;atFrendensborg,their suites respectively follow. ing in open baronches.

In _ Danish traditi ons Kronborg owes its fame mainly to the supposed residence of Holgcr Dauske, in one of the ca se .. mates far down below which can hold upon a pinch 1,000 men. When the State is in danger h e COMES to the surface and heads its armies, but mean Nhile he steeps tranquilly with his beard grow ing into the marble table before him. Such is the 1) anish legend ; but in English eyes the Castle has far greater interest from its connexion with the sad story of Caroline Matilda, the Danish Marie Antoinette. Sister of George HI. of England and wife of the weak, if not vicious, Christian VII of Denmark, she fell the victim of a plot formed by the Queen Mother to seize upon the Government. Torn from her pa l ace i n Copenhagen, half-dressed, in the middle of the night, and subjected to an in• famous and unfounded charge+, she was coral-hied at Elsinore till an English fleet effected her rel ease an d obtained h er remova l to Hanover, whore she died et the early ago of 23. Ita the last century every voice in Denmark pronounced her guilty, and held that her supposed crime should have been expiated on the scaffold, the Primo Minister and several of his adherents having already been put to death as her accomplices. Now, with fuller information, public opinion proclaims her innocence and deplores her fate. At Frederickrborg Castle is still to be seen the portrait of the unhappy Queen, who wrote with a diamond upon one of the windows in that building the touching prayer— "Oh, keep me innocent; make others groat." Kronborg Castle is not without other mementoes interesting to English visitors. Oa the exterior of the castle, called Frederick M.'s battery, under the windows of the upper story, suns a cornice richly ornamented in the style of the earlier part of the 17th century, in the divisions of which, among the medallion portraits of certain personages of the Royal family of Den ma-k, is one of King James I. of England, then James VI. of Scotland, and ano ther of his consort Anne, daughter of the Danish K - ng. Two Tudor roses are sculptured at each aide of the cornice, and the portcullis is fn quently introduced into the ornamentation—a little piece of family pride fir which James might have paid dearly had his assumption of the English badge come to the ears of Elizabeth. As soon as the Royal party had completed their inspection of the castle and fortifications they proceeded on board the Osborne, which conveyed them to Humblebek, where the Danish fleet was anchored at a point of the Sound rather wider than at Elsinore. Here they were re ceived with the usual salu'es, and some time was occupied in steaming round the squadron, and afterwards in receiving the principal officers of the fleet. The Royal party returned to Fredensborg Castle by the same route in time for dinner at 8 o'clock, and both in going and returning they were very warmly greeted by the inhabitants of Elsinore, the streets of which, as on the former occasion, were gaily decorated with The movements of their Royal Highnesses hitherto have been governed to a considerable extent by the unfavourable state of the weather, and also by the break in the line of railway communication caused by the slipping of an embankment about 15 or 18 miles from Copenhagen. The Danes everywhere pro vide good carriages, roomy stations, and lay their( lines so well that travelling, though not rapid, is exceedingly smooth and easy. Unfortunately, their engineers seem either to entertain a notion that an embankment once made will last for ever, or else look upon the land devoted to the construction of railways as so much withdrawn from general pur poses, and grudge it accordingly. Whatever the reason, the fact remains that they have made their embankments almost perpendicular on the Elsinore ;ine, the consequence being that when a heavy fall of rain takes place slips of soil occur which not merely shake the long banks of the earth, but in some cases withdraw from the line all support whatever, leaving the rails and sleepers hanging exposed in the air, like a rough piece of lattice or network. When the Royal party move down to Bernstorff Castle they will be within about four miles of Copenhagen, and can drive in and out without inconvenience. This change of residence it is proposed to accomplish on Tuesday next. There is to be a dinner one evening next week at the Brie tish Embassy in Copenhagen, and there will also be a soiree given, according to one account, at the Chris tianborg Palace, the banquet-hall, or Riddersdal, of which is unrivalled in Europe as to the grandness of its proportions. On Tuesday also the Osborne and Salamis will steam up to Copenhagen and anchor off the port; it is probable, therefore, that a succes sion of entertainments will be given on board. On some evening not yet fixed the royal party will visit the theatre, not, however, in State, but in order to be present at a:concert given for their entertain ment. This theatre must certainly be classed among the distinguishing features of the capital. The building, which accommodates 1,200 persons, is the property of the King, and is managed by five direc tors, nominated by him. To its maintenance the State devote a sum of 45,000 rixodollars annually, or more if necessary ; and the condition of the bond is that all the performances shall be in Danish. The pieces put upon the stage are as far as possible by Danish authors. and operas are likewise sung in the language most intelligible to the people. In compliment doubtless to the softer sex the word "Signora" is retained, but a male singer is in variably addressed upon the stage as "Hetr." The season extends from the Ist of September to the Ist of June, and during that time the theatre is open every night, Sundays not excepted, the perform• ances being varied by the allocation of different nights to particular classes of entertainment. Opera, ballet, tragedy, and comedy, all find a home be neath the same roof, and are impartially fostered by the management. The ballet, however, has been attended with marked success, obtaining a reputa tion for the theatre which extends beyond the limits of this country. The Frightful Tragedy in Preston. PRzszoN, Sept. 14. . - The inquest onn the body of the murdered woman was opened at the police court at noon to-day (Wednesday), be fore Mr M. Myers, coroner. After the jury had been sworn, the Coroner said ho did not intend to finish the inquest to-day. Ho would adjourn it for the purpose of seeing whether Berry recovered or not. He had been taken to the House of Recovery that morning. [Berry seemed rather better when removed. He walked into the cab which conveyed him,] Mr E. Ambler (foreman of the jury)—Will there be a post-Inortem examination of the body ? The Coroner—l do not know. Mr Spencer—l have not yet made a post-mortem exami nation, After some conversation between the jury and Mr Spencer, The Coroner said he thought it would be as well if a post mortem examination was made. The inquest was then proceeded with. Catherine Leach, wife of Edward Leach, 29, Ormakirk road, was the first witness examined. She said-1 know the deceased, Mary Berry. She was my sister. She wee abcut 33 years of ago. Her husband's name is \l'illiam Berry, miller. They stayed at our house on Monday night. I went for him, and ho came with me. She followed. I saw them before we went to bed on Monday night, between 10 and 11 o'clock. Berry and his wife slept together in the front room, next to our apartment. I never heard anything until about four o'clock, when I got up to quiet the dog, which was downstairs. Berry said he could not sleep on account of it going up and down the stairs. He told me he was frightened of it. I went downstairs, put the dog in the back kitchen, and returned directly afterwards. I went to bed, and had to pass through the bedroom in which they were sleeping. I fastened our bedroom door, which opened into the room in which they were sleeping, After I closed the door Berry got up to see if the door on the landing was fastened. About half-past five the de ceased called on me. She said, "Kato, oh Kate I" I got up and went into the room. I saw her ; she was shouting out of the window. Afterwards I saw her at the door. 1 saw Berry in the room. He had something in his hand. My husband held him down. He (Berry) was trying to cut his throat. When I saw the deceased at the door she was calling out for some one. I wert to the window when my husband had hold of Berry, and called out for help. When I next saw the deceased she was upon the sofa down stairs. She was dying. She died between 6 and 7 o'clock. Berry never spoke to me. By a Juror—When I first saw the deceased, Berry was following her towards the window. I did not see him strike her in any way. By the Coroner—When I went for Berry, on Monday night, he said to me, "Will they stone me ?" I replied, "No." Afterwards, when I was taking him to our house, he said, " I don't see any one laughing at me ;" and I said, "No, what must they laugh at you for ?" By a Juror—He was quite sober. A Juror—Had he been in the habit of drinking ? Witness—Sometirnes. Mr Blackhurst (who appeared for the police)—All that will be gone into when you meet again. Particulars of his conduct for 133M0 time past will be given. In reply to a juror, witness said-1 did not Fee any blond shout the deceased when she was at the window. At this stage of the procr , edings the inquest was adjourned until 10 o'cloa. on Friday forenoon. THE GU kitDß.—The ht Battalion Scots Fusilier Guards, which has been quartered in the Sheet.- street Barracks, 'Windsor, for the last half-year, left the Windsor Station of the Great Western Railway this (Thursday) morning. The battalion, consisting of 17 offi cers, 693 non-commissioned officers and men, with 96 women, and 110 children, proceeded in three special trains —via the Metropolitan Railway to Farringdon-street, from where the regiment marched to the Tower of London This morning the 2d Battalion Coldstream Guards, con sisting of 10 officers and 604 non-commissioned officers and privates, left the Victoria Station, Pimlioo, at 8 10, and proceeded, vas the Great Western Railway, to Windsor. A Newly•built Blockade Runner. On Tuesday an exciting race came off between the Isle of Man new paddle steamer Douglas—the latest importation on that line—and a blockade runner, or at any rate a " secesh" vessel, called the Colonel Lamb. We need not sing the praises of the Douglas. She is the fastest boat which has left the Mersey for many a long day, and her cap tain and owners need not be ashamed if the has been beaten by the Colonel Lamb, a steel-built paddlewheel steamship—we believe the largest of her class built in England—from the yard of Msssrs. Jones, Quiggin, and Co. The two vessels were moored abreast of each other at the Prince's stage about 11 o'clock in the morning. The one was an approved boat which had never been beaten —the other a new boat which had never been tried at sea—built of steel, and, accoreing to modern traditions, much more fragile than an iron boat, whilst her great etearn power was considered likely to shake a few rivets. Results, however, proved that the Colonel Lamb was a splendid sea boat ; she was as stiff as could be desired, and there was an entire absence of the oscillation which is frequently found in boats of her size and power. The Colonel Lamb was built by Messrs. Junes, Quiggin, and Co., of the South-end. Her length is 2813 ft ; beam, 36ft ; and depth of huld, 15ft 6 inches ; tonnage, gal., 1,788 19 94 the, giving a cargo tonnage of about 1,200 tons. It is said that the vessel will carry about 2,500 bales of cotton on a draught of 9ft. Yesterday she drew 7ft 10in forward and BFt 2in aft, with about 400 tons of coals and stores aboard, and about 100 tons of water in her boilers. She left the Prince's stage about a quarter to 12, under command of Capt. Lockwood, and when outside the Rock lay to until 12.38, when the Manx steamer Douglas came up to her. "Full speed ahead" was the order given on board the Colonel Lamb, and the race continued for 2 hours and _3l minutes, during which time the blockader gained on the fastest boat on the Mersey about four miles. Everybody on board the blockader was satisfied that she was all right, and the order was given to put the ship about. This was done, and as she steamed homewards a cheer was given to the Douglas, whose crew and passengers returned the compliment handsomely. We should observe that the engines of the Colonel Lamb were con. strutted by Messrs James Jack and Co., of the Vic toria Engine Works, Sandon Duck. They are a pair of oscillating engines of 350 horse power, and have the advantage of the application of surface condensers, whilst the paddlewheels, which are on the feathering principle, are of 26ft diameter. The coal used was Welsh steam coal, the pressure of steam was 40Ibs, vaccum 25, and the number of re volutions averaged 30 per minute. By log the ship ran 16t knots, or about 19 miles an hour. The trial trip of the Colonel Lamb has proved a very important matter, and will, we understand, lead to the construction of several more ships on the same principle. Her builders are already inundated, as it were, with orders; and the firm which has sup. plied the engines has several other extensive orders on hand. Messrs. Jones, Quiggin, and Co„ we are in formed, have launched, since the commencement of the year, no fewer than 11 ships. The first was a yacht of 52 tons; then came the paddlewheel steamers Badger and Lynx, each of 655 tons. Both vessels were built of cast steel, and the latter one, which was engined by Messrs. James Jack and Co., has proved herself hitherto the fastest and one of the most successful ships running between Berrnu la and the Southern ports of the North American conti nent. The largest ocean-going sailing ships, built of steel—the Altcar and the Clytemnestra—have been launched from that yard. An iron sailing ship, the Hecuba,of 1,264 tons, has recently been launched, and the cast steel built paddlewheel steamers Fox, of 532 tons, end Bat and Owl of 800 tons each, have been added to the Liverpool squadron of blockade runners. Messrs. Jones, Quiggin, and Co., have also in hand nine ships of the aggregate tonnage of 9,370 tons, besides some orders which they have been obliged to transfer, and others which are in course of execution, although the vessels arc are not yet placed on the stocks. At the trial trip of the Colonel Limb, there were on board several gentlemen distinguished for their advocacy of the Southern cause ; some of the cfficers of the late unfortunate Confederate cruiser Alabama, and a numerous party of the general public. Beyond "Success to the ship and her captain," no toasts were given, and there was a studied absence of any allusion whatever to the future mission of the vessel. We should, however, be doing a great injustice to the builders of the ship, and to Messrs. Jack and Co., if we did not state that Captain Lockwood, and some gentlemen who were supposed to be at least indirectly connected with the Confederate Govern ment of the Southern States, openly declared that the ship and her engines far exceeded their most sanguine expectations, inasmuch as the wind was almost dead ahead on the outward passage, and the sea heavy. To the beat of our humble judgment, the Colonel L Imb is the swiftest vessel that ever went on a trial trip from the Mersey.---Liverpoo l Daily Post. STATE OF TRADE. DUNDEE, Sept. 13.—Dear money and rumours of peace in America tend to keep business quiet here, and the business done is entirely consumptive. -Flax continues dull, and it is difficult to make sales even with a small concession in price. The inquiry for tow and codilla is also limited, and jute hangs on sellers' hands, quotations being only nominal. The raw material is therefore very lifeless, with prices decidedly in favour of buyers. Some public sales of flex, tow, jute, &re., took place here to-day, and low prices were realised for the portions of the various parcels sold. There was a moderate de• mand for yarns, and where spinners wero disposed to meet buyers business was done in all descrip tions, flax, tow, and jute, bat not to a great extent. Orders for linen continue to be given out in small quantities, which, with the previous forward sales, keep manufacturers very busy. Prices of all classes of goods, coarse and fine, are now considerably easier than they were, and for extensive orders buyers are feeely met to some extent. LEICESTER, 14th.—The hosiery trade continues i n a satisfactory state, and the town and country hands remain well employed, manufacturers having orders on hand which require finishing. At llinck. ley, Loughborough, and the rural districts there it a fair amount of business doing. Yarns are realising very high prices, and spinners are well engaged. The wool market is quiet, and material is selling at high rates. NOTTINGHAM, 14th.—There has been less doing in lace goods during the past few days, most classes of goods sell very slowly, and the high price of plain nets and heavy goods c h ec k s th e d eman d f or those fabrics. There is not so good a sale for black silk laces and narrow edgings, while the demand for silk mechlins and silk quislings is not improved. Buyers purchase vory sparingly, and manufacturers confine their production to the demand, all stocks being kept low. The hosiery trade continues flat, and there is not much doing for either shipping or for home consumption, Yarns are realising high rates ROMAN CATIIOLIC CHURCH AT SHEERNESS. The new Roman Catholic Church at Sheerness, which was consecrated on the 29th of August last, was opened for public worship yesterday, by Dr Grant, Bishop of Southwark. The chuck is atter a design by Mr Pugin, son of the celebrated architect of that name, in the style of the decorated Gothic, and is intended to supply the place of the incommodious leasehold building which has hitherto been used for a chapel. There is a Roman Catholic popula tion in Sheerness of about 700, end there is also a large garrison of soldiers, many of whom are members of that persuasion. The new church will accommodate between 500 and 600 persons. It is about 100 ft long, by 451t.broad, sod is, in the words of Dr Manning, a very beautiful and stately church. The opening service consisted of high mass with musical accompaniment. The sermon was preached by the Right Rev Monsignor Manning, D.D., Provost of the diocese of Westminster, who took bis text from the Ist chapter of the let Epistle of Paul the Apostle to the Corinthians, "I judge myself to know nothing amongst you save the Lord Je s us Christ and Him crucified." After some opening remarks, he pointed the attention o f his hearers to the controversies which were go in g on in the world where they saw men contending, he had almost said, over the grave of Chii,t, but Christ was in heaven. h e trusted those contentions would not last for ever, and that the day would come when the hands which were lifted up in controversy would embrace one another, lle trusted 'better things were ih store for them.

There was about an average supply of beasts on sale here to-day, but the general quality of the stock was inferior. Prime breeds moved off readily, at very full prices. Other wise, the beef trade was heavy, at late rates. The best Scots and crosses realised 5s 2d per Blbs. Sheep, the show of which was only moderate, were in good request, at ex treme currencies, The best Downs and half-breeds were worth 5a 6d per Blbs. We have to report a good sale for calves, at full quotations—viz, from 4s to 5s per Sibs. The supply was by no means extensive. Pigs and milch cows were in fair request, on former terms.

ACCIDENTAL HANGING. Yesterday afternoon Dr Lankester held an inquest at the Vestry-room of St Thomas's, Chancery-lane, on the body of Job Bart lett. an apprentice to a printer, who, by allowing his mind to dwell constantly on the case of Muller, came to speculate on the subject of hanging, and, while making sortie experi ments, lost his life through a misa dventure. It appeared from the evidence of several persona who worked i n the printing office of Mr Chipereile, of Chancery-lane, in which the deceased was employed, that they saw him about half-past six on Monday evening, and that he was found dead at a quarter before seven. Ever since the murder of Mr Briggs his thoughts had run in that direction, and often when speaking of the probable fate of Muller he had said that he should like to be hanged. Elward Ride, an apprentice, who discovered the deceased hanging, said the rope which was about his neck was not twisted, and was only tied by a singl e k no t. His impr ess i on, confirmed by many others in the same office, was that the lad was playing it hanging, and that, at he was standing on thick glass let into the 11 or for the purpose of giving light to the room below, he might have slipped and become en tangled in the rope. Ile was of a cheer till disposition, and no one over supposed him to be serious when he talked about his desire to be h ange d . The rope was placed i n t h e room for the prpos e o f pu l l i ng up the windows for ven -IHr:tier. The cor oner, in summing up, inclined to the opi nion that the l a d did not intentionally commit suicide, and the jury, adopting the same view of the esi?, rsturn.ed a verdict of " Death from misadventure."
